That was kind of my reaction, you may be hiring people who are kind of clueless.
I think our schools aren’t teaching basic stuff anymore. I get customers all the time who can’t answer questions like are you north or south of town, or is your house on east or west side of the street. If they are installing an antenna, they need to have eyes on the tower, choose a mounting location that isn’t shooting through a tree, etc. People try to do everything with an app these days. Make sure they don’t try to pound in nails using their phone and a hammer app. From: AF <af-boun...@af.afmug.com> On Behalf Of David Hannum Sent: Wednesday, December 2, 2020 12:34 PM To: AnimalFarm Microwave Users Group <af@af.afmug.com> Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Favorite AP for tower locating for techs Towercoverage.com is very good. We also have our KMZ's on Google Earth. But you know, there isn't much better than your guys just knowing where the towers are and where the customer is in relation to them.

So you can import all the Aps into the map. You have to actually select the dot on the map page. Then when you go to the VR theodolite page, the heading to that dot shows up on the compass wheel and it tells you if you need to look left or right. It doesn’t put the dot visibly in the field of view but it certainly helps you to put the cross hairs right on the correct heading.

(android or iPhone) for putting in the LAT/LONG of all the towers, so that the newbies have a general direction to a tower from their location. Looking to import (or type them) in all the towers..
